As soon as my shoulders sank, my body trembled and came back to my senses, and I actually winced a little at Zhu Gaoxu's worried eyes. If this withdrawal incident is uncontrollable, then he and I will inevitably become strangers and enemies, as well as Zhu Di! He promised that he would never return to Beijing as long as I was there, but now that a false edict was sent to Beiping to withdraw the feudal domain, would it make him change his mind? Moreover, he is not breaking his promise. He will soon learn of the situation in Beijing, and the news that I have been "burned to death" in Concubine Lu's palace made him furious and raised his army.

In my impression, Zhu Di's reason for raising troops was King Qin!

At this time, I could only comfort myself and say that the time had not yet come, even if Zhu Di really rebelled because of this, he would not have attacked the imperial city so quickly. What is imminent now is to rescue Ah Ping, and only when he returns to regent can he turn the tide.

After that, the news that Zhu Gaoxu's return was not confirmed came from the palace, and Fang Xiaoru told him that the court had formed a strong momentum, and he did his best to get the loyal emperor faction to resist the rise of the Lu family. However, the harem has been surrounded by layers of the Imperial Forest Army, and his several admonitions have been rejected, and he is trying to suppress it with the voice of his ministers.

I can understand Fang Xiaoru's difficulties at this time, after all, he is a Wenchen, and he has nothing to do but verbally and pendencifully. But who else can break into the harem at this time? Zhu Gaoxu has already told me that although Li Jinglong is a general, the soldiers in the capital are all on the periphery, and if you want to raise troops, you must have Ah Ping's tiger talisman, so it is not available at all.

Tossing and turning at night and unable to sleep, there was already a lot of sorrow added to it, when there was a sudden reshoot on the door, my heart suddenly beat wildly, and Zhu Gaoxu's voice immediately penetrated the door panel: "Xiaolan, wake up quickly, there is a change." ”

He finally opened his eyes, and his eyes were very weak and grinned at me: "Xiaolan, I'm fine." But in the next moment he closed his eyes again, and fell down towards me. The moment I held him, I saw the blood on his waist, and I didn't have to think about it to know that it was the injury he had suffered when he went to kill the three killers before, but after that, he not only ran with me wildly, but also saw that I couldn't walk after dawn, and carried me all the way. No wonder the merchant bought the carriage and stopped where he was, he simply did not have the strength to hurry any further.

Almost immediately, I got up from the bed, opened the door and asked, "What happened?" ”

He pulled my wrist and said as he dragged me along, "Come with me, I seem to hear a lot of horses' hooves, I'm afraid my whereabouts have been exposed." Surprised, he said that there was a change, and he thought that there was some bad news in the palace, but he didn't think that there might be a chasing soldier coming.

When we woke up the peasant owners with such a big commotion, they got up to inquire what had happened, and Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and warned them fiercely that no matter who came, they should not tell us that we had stayed here, otherwise we would kill them immediately.

When he followed Zhu Gaoxu out of a hundred meters away, he first saw the corpse of a man in black, and judging from his outfit, it was indeed no different from chasing me several times. Later, I deduced that this group of black-clothed people came from Concubine Lu's order, because I am not from the rivers and lakes, it is impossible for a killer to kill me in the first place, even if the royal family grievances will not implicate me, the only person who wants to kill me may only be Concubine Lu.

In fact, the owners of the farmers have taken good care of us these days, but the situation is also for their good, and they don't know the best way.

In the darkness of the night, Zhu Gaochu pulled me to run wildly, drilling wherever the path was, but the atmosphere around me became more and more condensed, I stumbled and fell under my feet, and Zhu Gaoxu had to stop and pull me. He was supposed to pull me from the ground, but suddenly he fell down and pushed me to the ground. Knowing that he couldn't be joking at this time, he must have noticed something wrong.

Sure enough, in the silence, I heard the sound of galloping footsteps, and there were at least three or four people. The place where we fell happened to be a ditch, and I broke out in a cold sweat as I listened to the sound of footsteps passing by.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly leaned into my ear and bit the words: "Wait for me here." ”

I was already overwhelmed by the time I realized what he was going to do, and I only grabbed a corner of his clothes, but he still broke free and ran in the direction of the footsteps. I lay there in a state of rage, and watched helplessly as his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Such a night seems to be similar, it was Zhu Gaoxu and I who were chased and killed by a group of men in black in the night, and later lost his trace. I didn't want him to be in danger again, but he didn't hesitate to fight for my sake.

What can I do? Get up and go to him? No, all I can do is wait here, for him to come back.

The whole nerve was tense, so when there was a footstep approaching, my heart was about to jump out, but when I saw the black shadow coming towards me, I instinctively rolled to the side but my shoulder was still buckled, and I was about to struggle to hear a familiar voice: "Xiaolan, it's me." ”

Almost immediately, he grabbed him by the arm and asked urgently, "Are you okay?" ”

But he laughed: "What can I do, those three people were put down by me." His face tensed, "It's the last batch." I understood what he meant right away, and my heart tightened, "Take me to see it." ”

When he followed Zhu Gaoxu out of a hundred meters away, he first saw the corpse of a man in black, and judging from his outfit, it was indeed no different from chasing me several times. Later, I deduced that this group of black-clothed people came from Concubine Lu's order, because I am not from the rivers and lakes, it is impossible for a killer to kill me in the first place, even if the royal family grievances will not implicate me, the only person who wants to kill me may only be Concubine Lu.

Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, if this group of killers in black was really Concubine Lu's people, did it mean that she had already secretly cultivated power, and it was even possible to raise killers. Then she is afraid that her intention to usurp the government is not a day or two, and she didn't dare or was sure that she could move with Zhu Yuanzhang in charge before, and she started to do it when Ah Ping's prestige on the throne was not so high.

I can understand Fang Xiaoru's difficulties at this time, after all, he is a Wenchen, and he has nothing to do but verbally and pendencifully. But who else can break into the harem at this time? Zhu Gaoxu has already told me that although Li Jinglong is a general, the soldiers in the capital are all on the periphery, and if you want to raise troops, you must have Ah Ping's tiger talisman, so it is not available at all.

If this is the case, then the concubine went to Lanyuan to find trouble, I am afraid that she is fanning the flames behind her back, and then she pretends to be unbearable, and she wants to stop it but has no choice. Because after that catastrophe, both sides were defeated, needless to say, what is my situation, the concubine was also buried when Zhu Yuanzhang died, and the only one who was not affected was Concubine Lu.

In addition to temporarily letting go of the right to be in charge of the harem, she is hidden in the harem in the state of chanting Buddha, and she is Aping's mother on the surface, and it is impossible not to be named the queen mother after Aping ascends the throne.

After figuring out this layer of relationship, I felt a chill down my spine, and the conspiracy came to me like a net, and I didn't know it.

The sleeves were pulled, and Zhu Gaoxu asked beside him: "Xiaolan, what are you thinking?" I heard the sound of horses' hooves just now, there must have been a lot of people coming, there are only three of them here, they must have scattered to search us. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so hurry up and leave first. ”

I have no objection, the two of them walked in an unknown direction in the vast night, and when the sky turned white, they looked around, and they could vaguely see the hazy city tower in the distance. Was this a night walk to a neighboring city?

But in the blink of an eye, it became a blur again, and when I looked around, I couldn't see the tower. I turned around and wanted to ask Zhu Gaoxu, but when I saw him in his sight moving away from me in slow motion, his eyelids sank and darkened. There was an anxious cry in his ears, and he opened his eyes after a moment of consciousness withdrawal, and found that Zhu Gaoxu's face was above, and his face was frightened.

I can understand Fang Xiaoru's difficulties at this time, after all, he is a Wenchen, and he has nothing to do but verbally and pendencifully. But who else can break into the harem at this time? Zhu Gaoxu has already told me that although Li Jinglong is a general, the soldiers in the capital are all on the periphery, and if you want to raise troops, you must have Ah Ping's tiger talisman, so it is not available at all.

"What's wrong?" When I asked, I realized that my voice was hoarse and weak.

Zhu Gaoxu's mouth moved a few times before he heard his voice: "...... It's me who is not good, I didn't expect you to be physically exhausted, and I should have carried you on my back a long time ago. "On his back I also rested my head on his shoulder, I really felt weak, my physique was not good, running all night had already overdrawn my physical strength, it was a strong breath to hold on until dawn, and when I saw the city tower in the distance, I was relieved, and I couldn't hold it anymore.

I asked Zhu Gaoxu if he had seen the castle tower just now, and he shook his head and said no, it was my hallucination. There are also fifteen miles from the suburbs of the capital to the nearest neighboring city, and it is difficult for us to walk blindly like that.

This early morning, I don't know how long Zhu Gaoxu walked on my back, those dark calculations and sinister conspiracies dissipated in the morning fog, and we in the morning light were the last good memories of me and Zhu Gaoxu.

It meets again and again, and has become opposing enemies.

I can understand Fang Xiaoru's difficulties at this time, after all, he is a Wenchen, and he has nothing to do but verbally and pendencifully. But who else can break into the harem at this time? Zhu Gaoxu has already told me that although Li Jinglong is a general, the soldiers in the capital are all on the periphery, and if you want to raise troops, you must have Ah Ping's tiger talisman, so it is not available at all.

Later, I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes when I felt my body being put down, Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect me to wake up, and his eyes were stunned before he came back to his senses: "You're awake." I looked around, found it in a simple carriage, and asked, "What time is it?" He replied, "It should be a long time." ”

So I slept until the afternoon? He sat up, "Where did you get this carriage?" ”

Such a night seems to be similar, it was Zhu Gaoxu and I who were chased and killed by a group of men in black in the night, and later lost his trace. I didn't want him to be in danger again, but he didn't hesitate to fight for my sake.

"I bought it from a passing horse dealer."

In fact, the owners of the farmers have taken good care of us these days, but the situation is also for their good, and they don't know the best way.

"And where are we now?" The carriage was not moving, it must have stopped somewhere.

Zhu Gaoxu said ambiguously: "Ten miles to the west is Wengcheng, fifteen miles to the south is Wucheng, eight or nine miles away from the capital, it is a forest with three non-sticky areas. As he spoke, he handed over a cloth bag, and I took it suspiciously when I heard him say, "Ask the horse merchant to buy some jerky to replenish your strength." ”

I was very uncomfortable but didn't panic, I first opened his shirt and looked at the wound, it was a knife wound, it should have been the tip of the knife pierced into the waist, and he pulled it out. The wound was deep but not fatal, and what led to his current situation was excessive blood loss.

The tone is very confident, which shows that Zhu Di's image in his heart is very strong. In fact, the person who was far away in Beiping was indeed very powerful, and this coup d'état finally became a help for him to step on the throne of God.

I frowned slightly, I could feel his mood fluctuate, and I didn't twist and turn towards him, and asked directly: "Are you worried about the withdrawal of the feudal domain from Beiping?" His eyes sank, but he replied, "No, my father will handle it." ”

Reached out and tugged at Zhu Gaoxu's sleeve, "Axu, what's wrong with you?" ”

I nodded, and when I opened the cloth bag, I smelled a smell of meat, which immediately stirred my palate. The jerky is a bit hard and a little difficult to chew, but it tastes good. When I raised my eyes and saw him leaning there looking at me, my heart moved slightly, and I handed over the jerky, "You can eat some too." ”

The space was silent and dull, I couldn't eat a few bites of jerky, my mouth was very dry, and I wanted to ask Zhu Gaoxu for water. But when I raised my eyes, I saw that he was dozing off, and at first I thought that he was tired after walking on my back for a morning, but then I felt that something was wrong, and called softly: "Axu? He still kept his eyes down, as if he were asleep, and his heart sank.

He shook his head, "I've already eaten it." ”

I don't have the strength to think about it when I return to the present, I'm afraid I can't go back to the capital, Concubine Lu will send a killer to I'm afraid that I have already learned the news that I am not dead, and there must be a net in the capital. But where can we go now?

He finally opened his eyes, and his eyes were very weak and grinned at me: "Xiaolan, I'm fine." But in the next moment he closed his eyes again, and fell down towards me. The moment I held him, I saw the blood on his waist, and I didn't have to think about it to know that it was the injury he had suffered when he went to kill the three killers before, but after that, he not only ran with me wildly, but also saw that I couldn't walk after dawn, and carried me all the way. No wonder the merchant bought the carriage and stopped where he was, he simply did not have the strength to hurry any further.
